I am new here too. I came across this website by destiny or accident I am not sure. However, I wonder if I would fit in here because there are places in which I would not be welcome. No No, it's not because I am into "New Age or Wiccan" I am a born again Christian ex= Catholic but I am a Mexican-Indian and I sadly realize that people of color are not welcome in alot of churches and websites that supposedly preach the Gospel. I know that I did not have to reveal what I am but when I make friends I don't want them to think I am of the same culture and I might have a different "perspective" that it maybe become a dilema for some sisters. However if we walk the same road in JESUS it should be of no concern. I am a stay at home mom, wife and grandmother and I love to pray. I have often find myself praying for Deliverance for family and friends. I love crafts, dolls and yard sales.

Hello Mrs. Gracie!! Welcome And don't ever worry about acceptance, the One who is most important has already accepted you And as far as the "people of color" goes, God has planted a beautiful garden here and I believe He loves His flowers of all hues...my Savior wasn't blond haired or blue eyed or fair skinned, if His ancestors and descendants are any indication Just my humble opinion.

Gracie ~ Welcome to our family. I am so glad you are here. There are so many great sisters on this board that I am sure you will fit right in and enjoy your time here. I have to say this on your comment: "I wonder if I would fit in here because there are places in which I would not be welcome." The ONLY place I see that you would not be welcome... is on the outside looking in. You are beautifully created by our Heaven Father, so why on earth would we hold that against you!?! *grin* I do realize that some people (and groups) are selective in their Christian beliefs and acceptances but here in this group...well, if they were selective on who they accepted in any forum of the board I would have been tossed out a long time ago! *smile* I don't see you as different in race or color, I see you as blessed because we ALL are one color...RED. Red because of the precious blood of JESUS! I love that you have expressed to us you heritage, that is so cool. I feel kind of boring as my background is Caucasian Irish Czech Indian, but I was only really raised to acknowledge society's stereo-type of "white." So how boring is that *grin* Seriously though, I welcome you with sincere love in Christ and look forward to knowing you more and seeing you around the board (in ALL forums.) ~blessings
